Forgiveness is release!

Message
from Saul via John Smallman for 12 January 2016

The world, the illusory world in which humanity is dreaming a story
that no longer appeals to it, appears to be descending into chaos. What is
happening is that you are becoming aware of the insanity of your so-called
civilized lives, as you burn through the planet’s non-renewable energy
resources at a speed that is terrifying. Your life styles, while seemingly
moderate in their needs and expenditures, are at risk, and the chances that
your children and grand children will be able to enjoy anything like a similar
standard of living look increasingly unlikely. You appear to be caught 'between
a rock and a hard place', as you so often euphemistically describe what appear
to be insurmountable difficulties. Maybe you comfort yourselves with the
thoughts and the hopes that advances and new discoveries in technology will
provide solutions to your innumerable problems. And yet, your doubts and
anxieties at times overwhelm you, as you remember that historically empires and
civilizations have always collapsed, even as you hope that this one will, at
worst, just gently decay, allowing a new and improved social, political, and
business environment to seamlessly replace the present unsustainable one
relatively painlessly. The bad news is that the old order, the old harshly
competitive ‘dog eat dog’ way of life, is on the verge of collapse. However,
the good news is that humanity is waking up to the unsustainability of constant
conflict and planetary despoliation, and in many places people are rising up
to the challenge and taking the necessary steps to resolve conflict and reverse
planetary damage through wise and thoughtful negotiation. As a result those
callous military leaders who have for eons chosen to engage in preemptive wars,
and their counterparts in business and politics, and even some religious
leaders, no longer have a following of admiring disciples ready to continue
engaging in policies that can clearly be seen to be at best unwise and at worst
totally insane. Truly, a sea change is underway as younger people, mostly
aged forty or less, with what seems like extraordinarily wise heads on their
seemingly young shoulders move into positions of power and influence. Many
of you have for decades been holding the Light and living kindly and
compassionately, while forgiving those who have hurt or damaged you and holding
the intent to refrain from judgment. This has fortified your personal energy
fields, the fields of Love in which every human is enfolded, and the upshot of
those long held intentions is humanity's collective decision to awaken. It has
probably seemed at times that your loving intentions were having very little
effect, but in fact it is because of those constantly held intentions through
the decades, without any positive feedback apart from your own inner knowing,
that has brought you so close to your inevitable awakening. Those of you
over sixty years old, when you look back to your youth and the cultural
environment in which you grew up, can see that enormous strides have been made
in reaching out to and assisting those in need. There is still quite a way to
go, but progress to end poverty and all its associated ills is accelerating.
Very few now blame the impoverished for being impoverished, whereas previously
it was common to blame the poor while assuming they were lazy, lacked
determination, and therefore deserved to be living in straitened circumstances.
So, really, much has changed for the better in humanity's attitudes towards one
another, and awareness is growing that your survival on Earth depends on your
willingness to support each other, instead of imperiously judging and finding
fault with each other. The decision to awaken is solely humanity's. Many
wise ones have incarnated over the eons to bring this fact to your attention,
and they have succeeded. You were created free, and our loving Source will
never override your freedom. However, as long as you chose to play your game of
separation and attack others who you saw as wrong or different, you were
effectively closing your hearts and hiding from the infinite Love that is
constantly offering you the solace and comfort from within the center of your
being that so many seek outside themselves. Going within, quieting your
mind, and intending to feel God's Love for you is the way forward along your
individual paths of spiritual evolution. When you allow yourselves to know that
you are divinely loved, you enable yourselves to cease self-judgment, which is
endemic, and start to forgive yourselves for all your faults and errors. As you
do so, you quickly realize that there is nothing to forgive, that you were just
unaware and that your seeming misbehaviors were but misguided attempts to find
your way Home. When you truly forgive yourselves, having looked at all the
issues that were causing you so much pain, you will be able to accept what
arises in your daily lives without fear or anxiety, and you will find
yourselves easily forgiving those whom you have judged as wrong or who have
hurt you. You will recognize in them the pain you experienced yourselves and
understand that they too are just seeking the way Home. Forgiveness is
release! Forgiveness dissolves grudges and resentments and brings you peace, a
peace you could not imagine achieving while holding on to grudges and
resentments. More and more of you are engaging with it, and as you do so, you
are releasing humanity – one another – from the prison that not forgiving
builds around you, a prison in which you were hiding in fear of freedom! When
you find yourselves free, you forgive, and when you forgive, you find that fear
has dissolved and that you are truly at peace. Go within daily to engage
with the Love that dwells there in every moment. The Love that you are seeking
so desperately can only be found within. That is where It resides waiting for
you to acknowledge It and allow It to embrace you and fill you with joy and
peace. You know It is there but you have become fearful because you have judged
yourselves harshly and feel unworthy and undeserving of Its warm embrace. Dismiss
those judgments. I assure you that God's Love for you remains undiminished, and
that there is nothing you can do to change that. All you can do is refuse to
accept what is offered, and why would you do that when your acceptance will
bring you only peace and joy. With so very much love, Saul. http://johnsmallman.wordpress.com
